2 things:

I have heard from Google that they get suspicious of domain privacy. But no sure how it affects the algo’s.

And don’t forget that they can track adsense data. So if you have a network all registered properly but use the same adsense account on all of them… you just left a trail.

@Stephan Miller – I believe it does since the “private” feature is something that keeps your info private from the public “WHOIS” directory. Your info is still clearly stored in their database, and that’s where they crawl. This is only an educated guess, if anyone reading this post has a different opinion, or knows about this process please do share!

Does all of this still apply if you use the contact hiding features that some domain registrars have?

I completely agree with this post. Google is evil and I think they check registar information.

Here is a great article on how to make Stealth or some what undetectable site networks:

@sebastienpage Article writing and submitting is ok, but not the only thing that can be done. The best thing is to look at where people ranking well for your keywords are getting their links from and work towards that. Most of the time awesome inbound links can be achieved with a quick personal email to another webmaster, and a nice offer of some sort.. For example, if you offered to write a guest post on my blog, I would be totally fine to have it link to your site. It’s a win win situation. That’s just one small example though…

Thanks for the answer to my question.

I didn’t think about Google checking WhoIs records… I’m sure you’re right though; they are probably digging the whois database and realize they are similar registrar info.

So what you’re saying is that the good old article writing is still one of the best thing to do to get inbound links? This + some social media?
